After you have submitted your application, a case officer will contact you to confirm the information and possibly ask for more details. The application will then be processed.

What happens if I cannot answer the call from the case officer?

The case officer will try to contact you multiple times. Either by phone or email. You can also contact the case officer yourself at nybedriftskunde@dnb.no. It is important that you write which company it applies to in the subject field.

The processing time can vary. You can check this at The Brønnøysund Register Centre’s website

The account you open is for paying in the share capital. Each shareholder must pay their portion of the share capital in line with the founding document. Remember to label the deposit “share contribution/share capital”. The amount will be blocked from withdrawals until the organisation number is in place.

How and when can I get share capital payments confirmed, and what are the next steps after the confirmation?

When your customer application has been processed, you will get an account for share capital payments. The share capital must be paid into this account in accordance with the company’s founding document. When the share capital is paid in, you will receive a share capital confirmation. Register the company Brønnøysund Register Centre.

The founding document is valid for three months from the date of incorporation.

The foundation documents provide information about who is founding the company, how the shares are distributed and the value of the shares. The articles of association serve as the company’s internal rules. You can create these documents yourself, or get help from an accountant, accountant or lawyer.

Remember that the founding document is valid for three months from the date of incorporation.

You get access to an account after the company is registered in the Brønnøysund Register Centre. Delays may occur if documentation is missing or if more information is needed to register the company.

Where can I find the account number?

You can find the account number when logged in to your online bank. You must log in via the online bank or the full version on your phone the first time you log in. You will find the account number in the account summary.

DNB signs up to several times a day. Your registry notification will therefore be signed the same day. If your registry notification is not signed, you can check whether you have provided the correct organisation number and uploaded the correct documentation.
